Do know of a 7.4m Noble Super V that might be on the market in Cairns. Twin 130 Hondas. 500l of fuel. Be a great Kimberleys rig. Ive fished out of it a few times on extended trips. Owner is a member on here too. Pm the codfather and ask him for a good deal so he can upgrade.;D

Yep nice! But what's with the curtains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:o :o :o :o :o :o :o And i wonder why the 2 lovely eighty year old ladies decided to sell it!;)8-)

Yeah - must have let the missus be in charge of the department of the interior. Did I mention the fridge/freezer in the galley, snapper fridge under the helm seat, radar, solar panels, shower/toilet, bigscreen sounder and on and on? She wasn't in charge of that lot.....
I don't even like tinneys that much but that one is rather impressive.

I have a 7.5mt aluminium deep v monohull with twin 140hp Suzukis, 750lts fuel, 150lts water. I actually did the Kimberleys in it last year (Wyndham to Broome). It features in the article I wrote for F & B Magazine (Oct/Nov & Dec 2008 issues). Thinking of selling it to move up in size. If you are interested you can email me at la49399@bigpond.net.au. Boat is in Perth.

I would have to say they are the best value plate boat to and also they ride well above avg no harm in having a chat to scott he is very hands on with the building of them and can talk to you about the different ways they do things to other custom plate builders.

I have a 7.2m sea prowler custom centre cab built by a couple of young guys at Yatala near Brisbane, it is really the dream boat, yeah I know, I'm probably a bit biased, but I have had a few and this one is a stand out in build quality, if I can manage it I will attempt to put some photos up but this is the first time I've been on and it was really because I was reading your notes

How is it going John, got a heap of pics including some of you boat on this thread http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/showthread.php?t=123414&highlight=megafish71

It ok to be biased the prowlers are a top boat, and as you know build quality is excelent.
